Can Facials Help with Acne?

Facials involve cleansing skin, unplugging pores, exfoliation and extraction and in many cases can help with acne breakouts depending on the type and severity of acne you have.  Acne facials can help to reduce symptoms of acne by cleansing and removing dirt and impurities, reducing excess oil production, inflammation, and irritation. Cleansing facials help to kill bacteria that can cause acne and make it worse.  Cleansing and exfoliation helps reduce inflammation of the skin and improves hydration.  All of which helps to reduce the symptoms of acne. 

Cautions with Acne and Facials

Facials are generally safe for mild breakouts of acne and can help to remove blackheads and whiteheads, although are not suitable for severe acne breakouts.  In severe acne cases, facials could make skin irritation worse.  An experienced esthetician will be able to help you determine if a facial would help or hurt your skin. Some considerations would be the type and severity of your acne, your skin type, other products you may be using on your skin and the likelihood of the facial causing irritation.
